Chapter 1478: Old Lady Lin Dies: Illness (1)
Hearing that Lin Chengyu was arrested, Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn't figure it out: "Big brother, why can't he think about it so much?" What are you going to do if you have food and drink? ”
Lin Chengzhi didn't want to talk about these things anymore, he went into the house to find the box he brought back, but when he opened the box, he found that two boxes were missing: "Qiao Niang, what about the two boxes?" ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "I put it in the cabinet." The three ginseng in this box are not small, and the largest one must be 180 years old. Boss, where did you get so many good medicinal herbs? ”
These three ginseng sticks alone are worth thousands of taels of silver.
Lin Chengzhi said: "How did I get such a good ginseng, this is what Qingshu asked me to bring back to Mrs. Gu." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked stunned, and then asked, "What about the deer antler?" ”
Lin Chengzhi opened the two boxes and looked at them, and then said, "The things in this box are all given to Old Madam Gu by Qingshu. Le Wei, come over and help me carry this box to the carriage. ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao hesitated and said: "Boss, my mother has been in poor health recently, and I happened to want to buy some deer antler velvet for her to replenish her body." ”
Lin Chengzhi glanced at her and said, "If you want to buy ginseng and deer antler velvet to honor your mother-in-law, I won't stop you, but this is a comfortable thing, don't think about it." ”
Zhang Qiaoqiao explained: "I don't ask for nothing, I can spend money to buy it. ”
Lin Chengzhi said with a calm face: "Buy? Old Madam Gu is not short of money to spend, if she hears what you say, she will definitely give it to us, which makes Qingshu know what she will think? ”
Such quality ginseng and deer antler velvet cannot be found in the county seat or Pingzhou.
Zhang didn't dare to say anything.
Old Madam Gu was packing her things and preparing to go to Hengshan in two days. You can't climb with old arms and legs, but it's not bad to go around the mountain.
Hearing that Lin Chengzhi was coming, Old Madam Gu hurriedly said, "Please let him in!" ”
Letting Le Wei put the box down, Lin Chengzhi said: "Old lady, these are the things that Qingshu asked me to bring to you to replenish your body." ”
Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "This kid always sends me things, and I can't finish eating those things." ”
complained on his lips, but there was a smile between his eyebrows.
After the things were carried down, Old Madam Gu asked, "You didn't want to stay in the capital to take care of Lewen, why did you suddenly come back?" ”
Lin Chengzhi didn't hide it from him, and told him about the female school and Lin Chengyu.
Old Madam Gu was not surprised when she heard this, and said: "The Cui family is reluctant to give even a copper plate to Qingshu and An An, how can they not reach out when they value the money so much." ”
"Therefore, it is said that a wife should be a virtuous wife. married a poisonous woman for three generations, Lin Chengyu was considered to have been harmed by her. ”
Lin Chengzhi couldn't answer this, he took out two letters from his arms and said, "Old lady, this is Qingshu's letter to you." ”
After the belief was enshrined, Lin Chengzhi said: "Old lady, there is something at home to come to visit your old man another day." ”
Old Madam Gu didn't keep him, firstly, if Lin Chengyu had an accident, there would definitely be a turmoil in the Lin family, and secondly, Gu Xian didn't like to see the people of the Lin family.
After taking the letter, Mrs. Gu didn't rush to look at it, but said to Mother Hua: "Lin Chengyu's accident will make Qingshu tired again." ”
After speaking, she said very dissatisfiedly: "He hasn't raised or taken care of Qingshu over the years, so he can go to her if he has something." ”
Mother Hua was relieved: "It may be that the girl owed him in her previous life, and she will repay the debt in this life." ”
Old Madam Gu said: "Not only Qingshu owes him, but Ah Xian and An An also owe him. Fortunately, Qingshu and An An are already married, and he will not implicate the two children if he puts himself in prison. Otherwise, I can't spare him. ”
"Old lady, he has already received retribution."
"You're right, if he hadn't abandoned his wife and daughter and didn't marry that poisonous woman, he wouldn't have ended up like this. As the old saying goes, evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good, and it is not that the time has not yet come. Now the time has come, and his retribution has come. ”
Mother Hua changed the topic: "Old lady, let the kitchen kill a chicken tomorrow, and stew ginseng chicken soup for you and your wife to drink." ”
Old Madam Gu nodded.
As soon as Le Wei came out of Gu's mansion, he said to Lin Chengzhi: "Dad, I remember that Old Madam Gu seems to be older than her grandfather, right?" ”
"Well, Old Madam Gu is sixty-eight years old this year, five years older than your grandfather."
Le Wei shook his head and said, "Old Madam Gu looks like she is in her early fifties, and when she walks with her grandfather, she looks like two generations. ”
"What's so strange about that. Mrs. Gu eats high-quality tonic every day, and has a daughter and son-in-law to serve, and her life is smooth, and she looks naturally younger. ”
As for his father, if he hadn't raised it, three meals would have been a problem.
Hearing this, Le Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandmother used to always talk about the water that her married daughter spilled? But Mrs. Gu has no son and only one daughter under her knees, but she lives well for everyone. ”
On the contrary, his grandfather had three sons under his knees, and the eldest uncle and the second uncle who relied on him the most disliked his father the most, and as a result, he had to rely on his father to support him when he was old.
Lin Chengzhi said: "What you said is only half right, if you want to live well in your old age, you must not only be filial to your children, but also have them to be successful." Why is Shen Shaozhou willing to take Gu Xian to stay in Taifeng County to support Mrs. Gu? That's because his life was saved by Qingshu, and he also wanted Qingshu to shelter the Shen family. Otherwise, one of his sons-in-law only needs to take his mother-in-law to his home to support him. ”
After hearing this, Le Wei told him about Gu Heping: "Gu Heping's leg was injured, and the county magistrate and his wife didn't seem to know about it at first. When Mrs. Gu came back and found out about this, she found Mrs. County Order, and Mrs. County Commander took 1,000 taels of silver to treat his leg. ”
Why are Old Madam Gu's words so useful? That's because she has Qingshu behind her.
Lin Chengzhi snorted and said, "Now you know how much energy your second sister has, right?" Our family can only prosper if it is close to your second sister. ”
"But didn't you say that the second sister has an estrangement with you?"
Lin Chengzhi said: "It's okay. When my father was in the capital, I didn't know about it, and although your second sister was annoyed, she didn't blame me. ”
"That's good."
Le Wei thought for a while and said, "Dad, someone invited the second brother to open a cloth village. I felt unreliable to persuade him, but he didn't listen. Dad, tell him about it! ”
Lin Chengzhi said: "Was it your brother and daughter-in-law who instigated it? ”
"I don't know. But you also know what the character of the second brother is, if he wants to partner with someone to open a cloth village, he will definitely lose money. ”
The business of satin cloth is deep! Not only do you have to have connections and money, but you also have to understand this industry, if you don't know how to be trapped, you don't know.
Lin Chengzhi hummed and said, "I'll have a good talk with him." ”
When he returned home, Lin Chengzhi went to rest after lunch, as for Lin Leshu's matter, he couldn't deal with it for two days, anyway, he didn't return to Beijing so soon. It's too tiring to travel for so many days, and I can't bear it.
In the evening, when the family was on the table and was about to eat, they saw Chengyun running in dressed white and said, "Third brother, third brother, dad is gone......"
With a bang, the bowl in Zhang's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
